Wonder if you hear the latest for
The jaimacan dog can't bark no more
They make them and shut them up
From the biggest one to the smallest pup

Me dog can't bark
Not here and when it's dark
You might not know when the cock can't crow

You might not know when the cock can't crow


Cos a barking dog they cannot bear

So Mr. dog have no excuse

Me dog can't bark
Not here and when it's dark

You're gonna know when the cock can't crow

You're gonna know when the cock can't crow

Well I know my own jamaica dear
And there's one thing that i will declare
To shut them up without making noise
Throw them in a well that's my advice

Me dog can't bark
Not here and when it's dark

You're gonna know when the cock can't crow

You're gonna know when the cock can't crow

Well even if that stop the dog from bark
I know the cock will always crow
And if dog and pup they


Me dog can't bark
Not here and when it's dark

You're gonna know when the cock can't crow





You're gonna know when the cock can't crow

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Monty Reynolds's song "Me Dog Can't Bark" reflect the brutality and cruelty that occur to animals in Jamaica. The song tells the story of how some people in Jamaica silence dogs from barking, which apparently annoys and disrupts their peace. As a result, these people perform a procedure on the dogs, making them unable to bark. The lyrics also suggest that this practice may not have been done with proper care, because even the youngest puppies are not exempted from this barbarism.


The song also compares the inability of the dog to bark to the way society can decide to silence people's voices. The lyrics suggest that if society can silence a dog that way, then it's not impossible that they could silence people too. It asserts that as much as it is wrong to silence a dog for barking, it's more dangerous when people in power silence citizens' voices.


Monty Reynolds's song "Me Dog Can't Bark" is a clear outcry against animal cruelty and an allegory for the violation of human rights. The lyrics call for greater care and sensitivity towards animals and the recognition of their rights. It also warns that the cost of silence could be people's voices and freedom.

Ahoyhoy! I have season ten because I wanted to view this very episode, but sadly I forgot to look inside before purchasing it so all I got was the other three discs. I'll buy another one I suppose. I'm not too peeved off though because i did save that box set from another idiotic fan from complaining to the company for something beyond their control. and I did enjoy the rest of the set that was intact so that's a good thing!
